Fire damages Poway home, displacing two

POWAY - A fire that damaged the garage of a Poway home Sunday
night displaced two elderly residents, authorities said.

The fire was reported at 11:27 p.m. in a single-story home in
the 12800 block of Blanco Court. A neighbor that noticed the blaze
woke up the elderly couple inside and helped them out, firefighters
said.

Firefighters quickly doused the flames, which caused damage that
was mostly contained to the garage, fire engineer Rick Tallman
said.

One person at the scene of the fire suffered minor smoke
inhalation, but declined medical attention, he said.
